olivia's life in these united states

Tonight at dinner we discussed that even though your peas are little green balls, they are the kind of balls we don't throw.  I would say we made progress.

Lately you've been helping dad in the kitchen.  You are especially good at helping if it involves getting messy and/or taste-testing things.

me:  "what does a kitty cat say olivia?"
you:  "ROAR." (very confidently.)
at least you are confident.

love,
mom

Dear Olivia,

Last weekend Aunt Amber took you to nana and papa's for the weekend and we didn't know what to do with ourselves.  Actually we knew exactly what to do and did not waste a second of our free time.  First we went on a date for some friendly competition on the putt-putt golf course.  After a few do-overs and second chance hits, we tied, which made for a pretty good date. 

Then we went to Panera, mom's favorite place to eat, although it never really fills us up so we ate at home for meal #2.
The next day we went paddle boating on Gray's Lake.  We talked about you while paddle boating and what a bad idea it would be to try and take you paddle boating. 

And when you came back, you looked super duper cute and grown up.

Love,

mom
